I looked up this thread because I hated the photography company we choose for our wedding. Thankfully, the owners did not shoot our wedding, but instead had an Associate capture our day. Pictures came out really nice, but I&#39;m thrilled to never have to interact with the owners again. They were stuck up, dismissive, and unkind, not just to me, but many brides so I&#39;ve heard. Such a shame. Don&#39;t go into the industry if you&#39;re not compassionate -- brides come in all colors, shapes, sizes and walks of life.

Luckily, though, you don&#39;t have to live with sucky pictures. Well, some of them, like the stuffing your face ones, you can&#39;t do much about. But bad lighting, a weird expression here or there or awkwardly placed guests, can be fixed by a photo editor. We, at Epixel Imaging, specialize in that kind of stuff, and while we may not be able to eliminate that forkful of pasta from the shot (or maybe we can, depends on the angle), we can probably salvage some of those photos.

Squinting in front of the sun, husband unsmiling - I feel really depressed and haven&#39;t really found one that is any good. We were presented with an album made from the shots done by mobile phone which I looked at once and refuse to show anyone.<br />miopushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13379170104141236777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517701312105703245.post-9649129146281107742016-03-09T12:45:33.005-07:002016-03-09T12:45:33.005-07:00While not ALL bad wedding photos can be fixed, you...While not ALL bad wedding photos can be fixed, you could try and find a wedding photo retoucher to take a look at what images you DO have.

My ...Reading this made me feel better... thank you. My wedding pictures honestly made me a bit depressed. I honestly put a lot of pressure on myself to look beautiful and the night before my wedding I was so nervous I probably slept 5 hours so I looked like a total zombie. It makes me depressed because it seemed like a holy day since it was in a church where I was supposed to look my most beautiful and everyone leading up to the wedding told me I was just going to look so great... and I look FUGLY. I&#39;ll say it. I don&#39;t look good. The humidty made my hair frizz up, my face has no color due to lack of sleep, I had not actually tried on my wedding jewelry with my dress which was stupid and it did not flatter me.... Just such a HUGE MESS! And I&#39;ve beat myself up over this like crazy! I know I&#39;m writing a lot now, I&#39;m just tired of carrying this burden with me. I&#39;m not sure how to even move on I just beat myself up so bad. I wish there was a way I could look back on the wedding and feel happy instead of stressed.. it was a stressful day. I also don&#39;t like that acquaintances on social media probably judge my appearance because the wedding photos are online... HEEEELP MEEEEEEE how can I feel better???? :/M G Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336240985572841285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517701312105703245.post-78573614463531869062014-12-26T22:42:24.857-07:002014-12-26T22:42:24.857-07:00It is my great pleasure to visit your website and ...It is my great pleasure to visit your website and to enjoy your excellent post here.

I made my own veil and it fell apart as I was walking down the aisle. The dress shop altered my dress, putting cups in against my permission and I didn&#39;t realize it until 45 minutes before the wedding. So the bust was crooked and uncomfortable all night. I had a great time nonetheless, but I understand how you feel. I just wanted a few good pictures of my husband and me that we could show our grandchildren without cringing. I liked the comment that suggested a reshoot on a later date. I&#39;m going to cut the cups out of my dress and buy a veil.

You can tell that the photographer was unskilled and unprofessional for being rude. Even if he was a friend of a friend, if I were in your place, I wouldn&#39;t have chosen him to be our photographer. Besides, it&#39;s not him (the photographer) who I should please on my wedding day. I hope you&#39;ll get another photographer for the next occasions to come.<br /><br /><a href="http://jaylynnstudios.com/about-photographers-in-salt-lake-city/" rel="nofollow">Isabelle Galindo</a> Isabelle Galindohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15802922198806486862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517701312105703245.post-69577747341756811702013-04-03T21:51:35.121-06:002013-04-03T21:51:35.121-06:00I&#39;m sorry. :( I have photographed 3 weddings a...I&#39;m sorry. :( I have photographed 3 weddings and I&#39;ve gotten the ceremony each time.

Add gale force winds and 100% humidity on a blazing hot day, resulting in very fuzzy hair as well as the Rudolph the red-nosed (and red-faced) reindeer look, then you will get some idea of what mine look like! I also have negative emotional memories associated with my wedding due to very hurtful family drama, which of course does not help. Recently one my aunts requested wedding photos from all the family members to be published in a book about the family history, which resulted in me suffering quite a relapse of PTSD! Which resulted in me frantically googling the topic and as a result I stumbled upon your website.<br /><br />More importantly though, I truly wish you all the best for the upcoming birth of your precious daughter. May the Lord Jesus cover you and your family with His grace and love.

I also only produced 50 photos, took a few months on turn around [I worked for free, battled a heavy work load and major PC malfunctions] and even managed to get some fun face stuffing in.<br /><br />So I am appalled that this bloke miffed it up so bad! Seeing his results really makes me even more nervous to explore wedding photography and get paid for it. I would hate to deliver a product and a service that makes someone hate their own wedding photos.<br /><br />On a more positive note, don&#39;t be afraid to recreate your wedding day! It may not be ideal but I assisted a friend on such a shoot. Her client was also displeased with their wedding photos and opted to do a sort of recreation shoot. It won&#39;t fix your crappy wedding photos, but it might give you something more lovely to think about when you look at a &quot;wedding&quot; photo done right!Allen Willshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04556434040402956831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517701312105703245.post-38350965658837375252012-11-16T14:55:25.663-07:002012-11-16T14:55:25.663-07:00Aw.

I think couples should bear these pointers in mind when they talk to their wedding photographer. I do agree with your tip about being clear of what kind of photos you like. It is good to tell them in advance the kind of photos you want and the style. The two of you may have different opinions on the look of the photos, but as a client you have the last say.Jessie Severthttp://studiozblog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517701312105703245.post-10149339918207848882012-10-30T19:49:20.638-06:002012-10-30T19:49:20.638-06:00sara i loved the captions you had for some of the ...sara i loved the captions you had for some of the photos...i laughed...i wish you had a better photographer...we choose our photographer b/c I saw a photo of an evening wedding at the venue and fell in love with the pose/lighting and knew I wanted that photographer...we our photos...so sorry yours did not turn out:(Jessica Fildeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06318632477743522385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517701312105703245.post-38219723805476538412012-10-08T09:13:54.328-06:002012-10-08T09:13:54.328-06:00Leah, you should post yours!
